Great guitar strings ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
These strings sound great and feel really good when playing. The tone is clear and bright, and they stay in tune well. I’ve been very happy with them so far and would definitely use them again. 🎸

Favorite strings by far!
These are the only strings I buy. I like strings that last awhile and don't rust. The tone is tight and bright. There are strings that sound slightly better but the tradeoff is worth it. This strings have incredible playability, especially if you are a beginner. They are smooth as butter which means sliding up and down the fret board doesn't hurt at all. Bending is fine, a bit slippery from the coating but good technique can overcome this. My favorite part: they stay in tune and last FOREVER. I've had sets last 4-5 months. Never had a break in almost 20 sets, even during aggressive stretches on a Floyd rose.

Great Strings
Truly great strings that last. I've tried several brands of strings but for my fingers these are the best. Smooth, great tone, and they last a long time without getting that old string "muddy" tone. They may cost a little more but worth every penny.

Once you break them in and get over the slickness of the strings
...you'll find it hard to go back to "regular" nickel-wound varieties. At roughly $10-$13 for a set, depending upon where you buy them from, they are pricey but the longevity and ease of playing make them worth it. As a beginner guitar player who is still exploring accessories that best suit him, I played the 0.10-0.46 set (and I was fortunate to find a low price of $5.99/set on Amazon) and they felt like I was playing a 0.09-0.42 set from the likes of Ernie Ball, D'addario, etc. I had some initial issues with how slick the string surface was due to the coating and kept losing my grip on the strings, but once I got used to them, they played like a dream. Vibratos, bends, pull-offs, and slides felt much easier and very pronounced. I put on a set in December 2014, and with minimal maintenance (brushing a Dunlop System 65 string cleaner every week or 10 days of playing), they looked bright and shiny well into March/April of this year, while maintaining much of the original tone. When I swapped them with a D'addario Regular Light EXL110-3D set recently (for comparison sake), I could really tell the difference as my fingers simply couldn't glide over the D'addarios with ease as they did with these babies. I may not be a 100% convert yet since I am still exploring things as a beginner, but I think I do have a very strong contender for a mainstay for my musical pursuits.

Pricey, but worth it
Elixir strings are more expensive by a few dollars when compared to standard electric guitar strings with equivalent tone and quality. However, Elixir strings will last longer, and maintain that "new string sound" for much longer than non-coated strings. I have enjoyed playing on elixirs for a while now, and I have never had anything but good things to say about them. One point of debate, and this all matters on opinion, is that Elixirs, like many other coated strings out there, are quite slick. There are those, like myself, that appreciate the feeling and the ease of sliding up and down the neck. Also, there are people who don't. On a side note, if you are after a coated string that feels like a regular string, look into D'addario's EXP line. I've tried both and personally prefer elixirs, but the choice is yours. Either way, you are paying a few extra dollars, but the strings won't need to be replaced nearly as frequently, so you probably save money in the long run with coated strings in general.
